Yes, not so common. However, it has happened numerous times. Sometimes this is because of corruption within the justice system (i.e: Judge and Jury want the Defendant dead), other times it is that there isn't satisfactory evidence to save him/er. It may later arise that they were wrong, but other times it is never realised.
